Haemophilia might mean you need to be aware of the risks. It might mean you need to think twice about certain activities. It might even mean you have to keep friends, family and your school, college or university in the loop.
But it shouldn’t mean you’re not taking part. Here, we help you find an activity that’s the right fit for you and share real stories from young adults and boys with haemophilia who have overcome their own challenges.
Because like anyone else, exercise and sport can kickstart a healthy, happy life. One full of opportunities to make new friends, learn new skills and get faster and stronger.
So you want to be active, but what are you going to do? There are some contact sports which you should avoid, but otherwise it’s up to you to find something you enjoy and that suits you.*
Whether you want to join a team or get moving at home, here are some ideas to get you started – and they are not all organised sports!
* Always speak with your haemophilia care team before taking on a new activity.
